It has a core concept that is truly engaging; it just feels as if it needs to be fleshed out a bit more. The single player Tournament mode is an absolute blast that will keep you occupied for a few hours. Unfortunately, the multiplayer features, though varied, are poorly executed.

There isn't much to the game's career mode, but this game will certainly be a sure-fire winner at parties.

A surprisingly solid puzzle title for the Nintendo DS. It's addictive and fun, and easy enough for anybody to get into and have fun. The difficulty ramps up, but that's a good thing.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying that Eagle Eye Golf is for the birdies but it’s definitely not a hole in one.

Virtua Tennis fans need not apply; this is tennis done more accurately...for better or worse. The game may not serve up an ace, but it makes for a solid set.

Despite the game’s clumsy story progression and repetitive werehog combat, it manages to be the best Sonic game released in recent memory. This is thanks mostly to the excellent hedgehog levels that evoke memories of classic Sonic titles while still managing to feel fresh and new.

When everything's tallied up, though, Commando is a decent game on its own merits and a strong first showing for newcomers Mana Computer Software.

Exactly what it needs to be: stupid good fun. The only thing it's missing is that old pizza parlor smell.

If you're looking for a good-spirited hack and slash/exploration game or just something to have a fun time playing with a younger gamer, then be sure to give Mini Ninjas a try.

Cheating makes for a strong improvement on an already solid card game.

The fighting mechanics are tight and responsive, in spite of a few technical shortcomings. It doesn’t feel weighty enough or polished enough to warrant a $50 price tag, but TMNT and Brawl fans alike might still get their money’s worth.

Play this game for the story and you'll be happy. Play it for the combat and you'll be sorely disappointed.

Blood Bath and Beyond is average fun while it lasts. The script and parodies are a reason to keep playing. The low-gravity sections at the end of the game are enjoyable, too.

Dynasty Warriors 8 is a simple, solid title that does the Dynasty Warriors franchise proud. It’s not really reinventing the wheel, nor is it trying to cater to fans outside of its small demographic. It just wants to be the best button-mashy, Chinese-soldier murder simulator it can be, and in that, it succeeds. If you are a fan of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, definitely consider picking Dynasty Warriors 8 up.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone other than existing tennis fans. However, if you just so happen to be a tennis aficionado and you want an alternative to some of the other tennis games on the market, Grand Slam Tennis does just fine.

Commander's Challenge is a game that requires a tremendous amount of patience, skill, determination, trial and error, and plenty of luck.

Even though Flash Focus is neither a masterpiece nor a highly anticipated title, it may draw some good sales. The game is cheap, innovative, interesting, and well designed.

This game is infinitely better than Techland's previous titles in almost every way.

The Club is a fresh take on the shooter. It has a core concept that is truly engaging; it just feels as if it needs to be fleshed out a bit more. The single player Tournament mode is an absolute blast that will keep you occupied for a few hours. Unfortunately, the multiplayer features, though varied, are poorly executed.

The gameplay is the truest reason to download this game. Even though the hour-long aspect of the game could hinder replayability, you will from time to time wish to save the fair princess from the dastardly Grand Vizier.

Here's my guarantee to you. Rent this game first and play the hell out of it over the weekend. If you don't find that it's totally derivative of "Hoops 2K6," then go back to the store and buy it. That way nobody gets hurt.

Most people won’t get addicted, but it’s fun to play alone or with friends, and there are tons of options.

It's not big on frills but it is loaded with modes, including online play.

Although EA Playground is obviously meant for children, it falls short severely in depth.

And even though it is a welcome addition to the SingStar family, I am very disappointed in the lack of variety in the song selection.
